Thai zig zag scam : ウィキペディア英語版 | Thai zig zag scam Zig zag scam is a confidence trick where one is falsely accused of shoplifting, and then held by police or those claiming to be authorities until they pay a large 'bail' for the alleged theft. At times those fleeced are shown fake closed-circuit television footage. In multiple specific cases in Thailand, this confidence trick has occurred at the airport, and thus is called a ''Thai airport scam'' or ''Thai zig zag scam''. ==Specific cases== According to BBC, police in Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport have participated in a series of these scams,〔(BBC News:Tourists warned of Thailand airport scam )〕 robbing tourists of thousands of dollars each time. A British couple was charged with stealing a wallet,〔 an Irish woman was charged with stealing eye-liner,〔 and an Australian man was charged with stealing a doughnut,〔(News.com.au:Sydney school teacher Sean Kearney accused of stealing doughnut in Thailand )〕 all in July 2009.
